2. Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.
3. Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons. I delighted in his shade and sat down, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4. He brought me to the house of wine, And his banner over me was love.
5. “Strengthen me with raisin cakes, Refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.”
6. His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraces me.
7. I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases.
